Kurzbeschreibung
Casting the tumultuous history of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam against the rich canvas of the Near East, The Biblical World reveals how three great religions emerged from the same cradle. Author Jean-Pierre Isbouts employs a non-denominational perspective and a wide range of sources—from ancient hieroglyphic texts to the latest scientific findings—to place Bible stories in the framework of history. Chronologically arranged chapters detail battles, conquests, tribal migrations, natural calamities, and more, supporting the stories with intriguing archaeological evidence. To locate sites and events, National Geographic cartographers have created fifty all-new maps of stunning quality. Hundreds of photographs and artifacts add visual excitement. Quick-read timelines link events across cultures while illustrated sidebars focus on what life was like during each era: family roles, farming, trade, dress, childbirth, burial customs, and other aspects of daily existence.
The story traces the evolution of Judaism from Abraham to the Unified Kingdom of Israel... chronicles the emergence of Christianity in the context of Greco-Roman civilization... and identifies the unique circumstances that prepared for the rise of Islam. The multi-dimensional approach weighs similarities and differences among the three faiths and follows developments in nearby lands. With a foreword from bestselling author Bruce Chilton and text reviewed by distinguished advisers, The Biblical World offers a carefully researched, balanced view of history and religious tradition. For its scope, beauty, and relevance in today's world, this unparalleled atlas is destined to become a classic.

Synopsis
This book traces the history of early Judaism, Christianity and Islam against the rich geographical canvas of the Ancient Near East. Written from a strictly non-denominational perspective, the book draws from the latest insights in archeology, paleo-anthropology, forensic science and biblical literature to narrate the fascinating story of how three great cultures originated from the same cradle in the Fertile Crescent. Throughout this narrative, Atlas places its storyline in the context of other major developments in Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt, Persia, Rome, Byzantium and Arabia. Illustrated with detailed maps and beautiful photographs, the book also features numerous sidebars describing everyday life in each biblical period. These sidebars focus on trade, farming, flora and fauna, dress, food, marriage customs, childbirth and burial practice, as well as literature, the arts and architecture.Beginning with the origins of Abraham's family in the cradle of human civilization, the city of Ur in Sumeria., "The Biblical World" tracks the evolution of Judaism from Abraham through Jacob and Moses to the founding of the Unified Kingdom of Israel.The book then describes the emergence of Christianity in the context of Greco-Roman civilization, charts its development throughout the Byzantine empire, and identifies the unique circumstances which prepared for the rise of Islam. Dr. Isbouts supports his vibrant narrative with quotes from a range of sources from Antiquity as well as an amazing array of archeological material, including hieroglyphic and cuneiform texts, monuments and artifacts - from Mesopotamia to Egypt, from Byzantium to early Arabian art.The result is an objective and painstakingly researched history that, time and again, finds the corroboration of its main argument in archeological evidence, much of which has been uncovered and deciphered only in the last few decades. Dr. Isbouts supports his vibrant narrative with quotes from a range of sources from Antiquity as well as an amazing array of archeological material, including hieroglyphic and cuneiform texts, monuments and artifacts - from Mesopotamia to Egypt, from Byzantium to early Arabian art.

The Biblical World an Illustrated Atlas. I was mesmerized when I saw this book at my niece's home. When I bought a copy for myself, I was completely satisfied. I plan to walk in the footsteps of Paul, visiting major stops on his three journeys. This book provided pictures, commentary, and historical references which will enhance my trip. I strongly recommend this book to anyone, especially biblical scholars.

Beautiful book of wonderfully useful Biblical maps, photos, text and timelines...
1. Mai 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Published by National Geographic, this is a beautiful volume of explanatory text with scripture quotes which look in chronological order the world of The Bible (Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament). Within the texts are references to the latest 'digs' within archeological sites which correspond to various reference made in each chapter. Each chapter also has a timeline. Great, of course, are all the maps for each significant biblical time period and VERY detailed explanatory notes which connect to the text. Saving the best for last, all the many brilliant color photographs which one would expect to find in a National Geographic publication. This is really nice text to have when doing Bible study... or an enjoyable read, in and of itself, if you want to 'tackle' the Bible in a new way. A nice gift for yourself or a friend.
